You know Dan, every time you make an anti-Israeli/Jewish comment, I call my friends in the Shin Bet to torture another of your buddies.

I don't have a problem with the rockets. The UN has said the rockets don't exist and is accepting responsibility for controlling Hezbollah. If rockets ARE launched from populated areas, then Israel will give the UN 15 minutes to get out, then annihilate those areas. Problem solved.

Violation of what international law? If someone is shooting missles at you, you don't have to give any warning at all. You can shoot back right away.

How come 'international law' only applies to jews defending themselves, and never to aggressive islamics attacking civilians?

I wonder what international law the Saudis are violating when they send Jihadis to kill the Shia?

BTW, is it against international law to send suicide bombers to blow kids up at a disco?

Was it against international law to fire bomb Hama? Where were the UN resolutions against that?

I guess Colm and his fellow traveling wankers just hold Jews to higher standards than Arabs.

Which would be fine, if they would just admit it.

The Saudis aren't sending jihadis to kill the Shias. The government is doing its best to keep them out and is building a wall along the whole Iraqi border.

There are some Saudis, whether members of Al-Qaeeda or not, who do find their way there privately. Abu Ghareib did no favours to the American cause. It probably caused even some Shiites to go over to fight the Americans.

Because international law applies to governments not individuals. Being a government brings a load of perks (it's legal to sell bomber planes to the Israeli government but not to Al-Qaeeda) but also responsibilities.

I can't believe that you believe this. You apparently live among them, you can't be that naive.

You have a point. I guess that that's a defect in international law.

So, where are the campus protests, where are the boycotts and other silliness to get Syria to obey the UN Resolutions directing Lebanon to conduct a full and open investigation of the Hariri assassination? Aren't there some UN Resolutions regarding the Moroccan occupation of the Western Sahara?

Let me be clear. I do not, and did not support Bush's idiotic invasion of Iraq. I voted against him twice. Nor do I think that Israel is above criticism. All I know is that Israel doesn't put military targets in hospitals and other civilian locations, nor does it seek to maximize civilian casualties, unlike their opponents.
